We use about 1,870 TeraJoules of energy per year. Neary 60% of households usefirewood for heating sourced,which mostly comes fromfallen timber on farming land. Electricity: 287 TJ or 80 GWh Firewood: 162 TJ from 10kt of wood Natural gas: 247 TJ About 36% of Hepburn's energy needs come from 'stationary' energy sources that power our homes, businesses and infrastructure. A closer look at our stationary energy mix is provided below Natural gas is used by households for cooking and heating both spaces and water. It is also used for industrial and commercial applications. Most natural gas is piped directly to end users (90%) with the remaining consumed frombottled gas. Electricity is used for a range of daily business and household needs such as lighting, heating, hot water, equipment and appliances. 23% of electricity comes from local renewable sources: including the households with rooftop solar PV installed (supplying 9.9% of total consumption), and Hepburn Wind (13.5%). Transport fuels power the vehicles we use to get around: they account for 64% of energy used by Hepburn's residents and businesses. Petrol is the most used fuel type (51%), followed by diesel (44%) and LPG (5%). All of these fuels produce greenhouse gases and air pollution.

Diesel: 46 TJ from 1,728 kL of fuel Diesel is used for farming and agriculture activities (e.g. to power diesel pumps and generators, and for off-road vehicles like tractors).
